When you are typing “FrostWire” in Google, you will find the sponsored links from Official-Downloads.net on top of the result. After you clicked it, the site looks legit and asks you to pay for the software.
But, the truth is, FrostWire is free. The official site is FrostWire.com rather than Official-Downloads.net. Take a look of detailed explanation in the video. Although the sponsored links is removed now, you can’t believe it happens on Google search, right? This also hurts other advertisers sincke users may not want to click the sponsored links again.
